    Notizen: Abstract  As part of a broader study, the aim of which is to identify soil factors that might be associated with yield decline of sugar cane, microbial biomass and protease activities were examined in soil samples collected from seven paired old and new land sites in three cane-growing districts of north Queensland. No consistent changes in soil protease activities were observed, although some sites exhibited specific effects, as a result of extensive periods of sugar cane monoculture. Soil microbial biomass, however, was significantly lower in those soils where sugar cane had been grown for extended periods. The implications of a lowering of soil microbial biomass on sugar cane yields and sustainability are discussed.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary Recently, Zenner et al. implanted the first totally implantable electronic hearing devices in patients with SNHL (HNO 46 [1998] 844–852). In the present report, technical and audiological features of the implant TICA are published. The development of the piezoelectric transducer and the microphone for implantation in the posterior wall of the auditory canal as components for the present fully implantable hearing system has already been described (HNO 45, 1997, 792–880). Here we report about our experience with the electronic main module that completes the TICA LZ 3001 system. This module is suited for implantation in the mastoid bone and contains the signal-processing electronics and an integrated battery that can be recharged transcutaneously with a portable charger. The recharging time is around 2 h for an implant operating time of 50h. The microphone and transducer connectors allow for easy replacement of the main module when the battery lifetime is reached. This lifetime is around 3–5 years. A small wireless remote control allows volume adjustment, contains an on/off switch, and permits selection of four different individual hearing programs. The basic audiological features are provided by a flexible, digitally programmable 3-channel-AGC-system with a peak clipping function. The total bandwidth is around 10 kHz. To our knowledge this is the first fully implantable hearing system that has been in implanted in humans.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung Kürzlich wurde über die Entwicklung eines elektromechanischen, piezoelektrischen Wandlers und eines Mikrofons zum subkutanen Einbau in die hintere Gehörgangswand als Komponenten eines zukünftigen vollständig implantierbaren Hörsystems für Innenohrschwerhörige berichtet (HNO 45, 1997, 792–880). Zwischenzeitlich konnte die Entwicklung eines elektronischen Hauptmoduls zur Implantation auf dem Planum mastoideum abgeschlossen werden, das diese Mikrofone und Wandler zu dem kompletten Hörimplantat TICA® LZ 3001 ergänzt. Dieses Hauptmodul enthält neben der signalverarbeitenden Elektronik eine spezielle Batterie, die transkutan mit einem portablen Ladegerät nachgeladen wird. Nach einer Volladung, die ca. 2 h benötigt, ist das Implantat für rund 50 h kontinuierlich betriebsbereit. Das Ladegerät wird ähnlich wie bei Mobiltelefonen in einer netzbetriebenen Station nachgeladen. Lösbare Steckverbindungen zu Mikrofon und Wandler ermöglichen den einfachen operativen Austausch des Hauptmoduls, wenn die Batterielebensdauer erreicht ist. Dies wird nach ca. 3–5 Jahren erwartet. Dem Patienten steht eine kleine, drahtlose Fernbedienung zur Verfügung, mit der Lautstärke, Ein/Aus sowie 4 Hörprogramme für unterschiedliche Hörsituationen eingestellt werden können. Die grundlegenden audiologischen Eigenschaften sind durch ein flexibel digital programmierbares 3-Kanal-AGC-System mit Peak-clipping-Funktion gegeben. Die gesamte Übertragungsbandbreite beträgt ca. 10 kHz. Das vollimplantierbare Hörsystem wurde im Rahmen der klinischen Erprobung Anfang Juni 1998 erstmals am Menschen angewendet.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary An attempt is made to apply methods of statistical mechanics to the continuous diversity of the terrestrial atmosphere. To this purpose the hydrodynamic equations of motion must be expressed in Hamiltonian form. In analogy to statistical mechanics a Gibbs arrangement of a canonical totality is set up involving the energy-function by which the atmosphere is described as a whole. By this arrangement the probability is given that a certain state of the atmosphere considered as phase point in a phase space exists in a volume-element of this phase space. This initial probability makes it possible to establish, in a practical example, a relation between the average geometrical curve of temperature state and the distribution of the whole mass of the atmosphere over the different density values.
    Kurzfassung: Résumé On tente d'appliquer les méthodes de la mécanique statistique au traitement statistique de la diversité continue de l'atmosphère terrestre. Il est nécessaire pour cela de ramener les équations hydrodynamiques du mouvement aux formes de Hamilton. Par analogie à la mécanique statistique on établit un théorème de Gibbs concernant un ensemble canonique et dans lequel s'insère la fonction d'énergie décrivant l'atmosphère dans son ensemble. Ce théorème fournit la probabilité qu'un état détermié de l'amtosphère considéré comme point de phase dans un espace de phase est rencontré dans un élément de volume de cet espace. Cette probabilité initiale permet, dans un exemple concret, d'établir une relation entre la courbe géométrique moyenne d'état de température et la distribution de la masse totale de l'atmosphère selon les différentes valeurs de la densité.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung Es wird versucht, die Methoden der statistischen Mechanik auf die statistische Behandlung der kontinuierlichen Mannigfaltigkeit der Erdatmosphäre zu übertragen. Dazu ist es notwendig, daß die hydrodynamischen Bewegungsgleichungen auf eine Hamiltonsche Form gebracht werden. In Analogie zur statistischen Mechanik wird ein Gibbsscher Ansatz einer kanonischen Gesamtheit gemacht, in den die Energiefunktion, die die Atmosphäre als Ganzes beschreibt, eingeht. Mit diesem Ansatz wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit angegeben, daß ein bestimmter Zustand der Atmosphäre, der als Phasenpunkt in einem Phasenraum aufgefaßt wird, in einem Volumelement dieses Phasenraumes anzutreffen ist. Diese Ausgangswahrscheinlichkeit gestattet es, in einem Anwendungsbeispiel eine Verbindung zwischen der mittleren geometrischen Temperaturzustandskurve und der Verteilung der Gesamtmasse der Atmosphäre auf die verschiedenen Dichtewerte herzustellen.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Abstract Background: Droperidol even in low doses such as 0,5 mg to 1,25 mg can increase postoperative anxiety and state of tension. The aim of this study was to determine whether these side effects occur frequently following low-dose droperidol and to see whether these are dose related. Methods: 184 female in- and outpatients ASA grade 1 and 2 undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy were recruited to this prospective, double-blind study. General anaesthesia was standardized (induction with thiopentone, fentanyl 2 µg/kg and vecuronium 0,1 mg/kg, tracheal intubation, maintainance with enflurane in N2O/O2). Patients were randomly allocated to receive saline (n=45), 0,625 mg (n=46), 1,25 mg (n=47) or 2,5 mg (n=46) droperidol i.v. 10 minutes before the end of surgery. 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively, the patients’ anxiety, state of tension and overall mood was evaluated using two psychological questionnaires which had been tested for the perioperative period (Erlanger anxiety and tension-scale / BSKE-EWL-test). Sedation was evaluated by the staff of the recovery room. In addition, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was assessed using a 100 mm visual analogue scale and by counting the episodes of retching or vomiting. PONV was then rated over the whole observation period as none, mild, moderate or severe using a fixed scoring algorithm. Statistical analysis was performed using the ANOVA and the chi2-test. Results: The patients did not differ with regard to biometric data, duration of surgery and anaesthesia. The postoperative scores for anxiety, state of tension and overall mood were not different between the groups at any observation time (Fig. 1: anxiety and tension: P=0,5687; figure 2: overall mood: P=0,0647). Quality of sleep in the first night after surgery was the same in all groups (Table 2 and 3). Sedation was not significantly different (Table 4; P=0,0704). Furthermore, duration of stay in the recovery room did not differ (P=0,4353). On the other hand, three patients from the 2,5 mg droperidol group had to stay unexpectedly on the ward overnight, because they had been too much sedated to be discharged at home. This was not the case with any patient from the other groups. Compared to placebo, PONV over the whole 24 h observation period was significantly reduced by droperidol (Fig. 3; P=0,0338): completely free from PONV: placebo: 41,3%, 0,625 mg droperidol: 67,4%, 1,25 mg droperidol: 53,2%, 2,5 mg droperidol: 71,7%. Also the severity of PONV was reduced. Conclusion: In gynaecological laparoscopy under general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation, we recommend droperidol 0,625 mg in the prevention of PONV, as it reduces PONV as well as 2,5 mg with no severe sedation in this dosage. Psychological side effects did not occur more frequently after droperidol compared to placebo in any of the investigated dosages.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung In vorliegender Studie wurden das Ausmaß postoperativer Angst, innerer Anspannung und allgemeiner Befindlichkeitsstörungen nach intraoperativ verabreichtem Droperidol und eine mögliche Dosisabhängigkeit dieser Nebenwirkungen untersucht. Zu diesem Zweck wurden erstmals zwei evaluierte Selbstbeurteilungsfragebögen eingesetzt. 184 ASA I und II Patientinnen, die sich einer gynäkologischen Laparoskopie in standardisierter Intubationsnarkose unterzogen, wurden in diese randomisierte, doppelblinde und plazebokontrollierte Untersuchung aufgenommen. Zehn Minuten vor Narkoseende erhielten die Patientinnen i.v. Kochsalz, 0,625 mg, 1,25 mg oder 2,5 mg Droperidol. Angst und allgemeines Befinden sowie Übelkeit und Erbrechen in der postoperativen Phase (PONV) wurden 1, 3, 6 und 24 h postoperativ registriert. Die Werte für Angst und allgemeines Befinden zeigten zu keinem Untersuchungszeitpunkt Gruppenunterschiede. Die Schlafqualität in der ersten postoperativen Nacht war in allen Gruppen gleich. Verglichen mit Plazebo wurde PONV durch Droperidol in jeder Dosierung gesenkt (p=0,0338): komplett frei von PONV: Plazebo: 41,3%, Droperidol 0,625 mg: 67,4%, 1,25 mg: 53,2%, 2,5 mg: 71,7%. Bei gynäkologischen Laparoskopien in Intubationsnarkose empfehlen wir zur Prophylaxe von PONV 0,625 mg Droperidol, da es ebensogut antiemetisch wirksam ist wie 2,5 mg. Psychische Nebenwirkungen wie Angst oder andere Befindlichkeitsstörungen treten in keiner der untersuchten Droperidoldosierungen vermehrt auf.

    Notizen: Abstract A retrospective study of 50 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) correlated analysis of serial motor nerve conduction studies with the presence of antibodies toCampylobacter jejuni, GM 1 and GDlb, determined by ELISA. GBS patients with antibodies toC. jejuni (n = 8), GM1 (n = 4), or GD1b (n = 4) showed electrophysiological features suggestive of demyelination with prolonged distal motor latencies and temporal dispersion/conduction block similar to GBS patients without these specific antibodies. Three of 50 GBS patients had poor recovery with inability to walk at 1 year after onset of symptoms. All three patients had antibodies to C. jejuni, but not to GM 1 or GD 1 b. Although later on in the clinical course distal motor responses were absent in two of these patients, reflecting extensive axonal degeneration, early nerve conduction studies showed findings suggestive of demyelination. We suggest that demyelination of peripheral nerve may be the initial disease mechanism in GBS independent of the presence of antibodies toC. jejuni, GM1 or GDlb.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term psychosocial adaptation of Hodgkin's disease and adult acute leukemia survivors. Patients and methods: Two hundred seventy-three Hodgkin's disease (HD) and 206 adult acute leukemia (AL) survivors were interviewed by telephone concerning their psychosocial adjustment and problems they attributed to having been treated for cancer, using identical research procedures and a common set of instruments. The following measures were used: Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS); Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI); current Conditioned Nausea and Vomiting triggered by treatment-related stimuli (CNVI); Indices of Employment, Insurance and Sexual Problems Attributed to Cancer; Negative Socioeconomic Impact of Cancer Index (NSI). All participants had been treated on one of nine Hodgkin's disease or 13 acute leukemia Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) clinical trials from 1966–1988, and had been off treatment for one year or more (mean years: HD = 5.9; AL = 5.6). Results: HD survivors' risk of having a high distress score on the BSI was almost twice that found for AL survivors (odds ratio = 1.90), with 21% of HD vs. 14% of AL survivors (P 〈 0.05) having scores that were 1.5 standard deviations above the norm, suggestive of a possible psychiatric disorder. HD survivors reported greater fatigue (POMS Fatigue, P = 0.01; Vigor Subscales, P = 0.001), greater conditioned nausea (CNVI, P 〈 0.05), greater impact of cancer on their family life (PAIS Domestic Environment, P = 0.004) and poorer sexual functioning (PAIS Sexual Relationships, P = 0.0001), than AL survivors. Conclusions: Treatment-related issues may have placed HD survivors at a greater risk for problems in long-term adaptation than AL survivors.

    Notizen: Abstract Each 19S regulator of the 26S proteasome contains six ATPase subunits as well as many (〉14) non-ATPase protein subunits. The ATPase subunits have been detected in other complexes which may regulate transcription and possibly other cellular processes. The S10b (yeast SUG2 or human p42) and the S6′ (TBP1) ATPases have been found in an activator complex (modulator) prepared from bovine red cells. We have identified and partially characterised a similar activator from different human tissues (from soluble extracts of human brain, placenta and human embryonic kidney cells) and an insect: an activator is present in soluble extracts of abdominal intersegmental muscle from Manduca sexta. Activation is ATP and concentration dependent. There is no stimulation of human red cell-derived 20S proteasome by the Manduca activator ruling out 11S regulator in the preparations. Additionally, cross-species activation occurs: the Manduca activator increases the activity of rat skeletal muscle 26S proteasomes and the human placental activator similarly increases the activity of 26S proteasomes prepared from muscles from Manduca sexta. Finally, there is no evidence for other ATPases in the activator complex.

    Notizen: Abstract There is extensive reprogramming of the ATPase regulators of the 26S proteasome before the programmed elimination of the abdominal intersegmental muscles (ISM) after eclosion in Manduca sexta [1]. This extensive ATPase reprogramming only occurs in ISM which are destined to die and not in flight muscle (FM). The MS73 ATPase also increases in the proleg retractor muscles which die at a developmentally different stage to ISM. The non-ATPase regulator S5a shows a similar increase to the ATPase regulators. We have cloned the Manduca SUG2 ATPase and shown that this ATPase is a component of the 26S proteasome. This ATPase shows a similar increase in concentration to the other ATPases in 26S proteasomes before muscle death. The SUG2 ATPase is also associated with other smaller complexes besides the 26S proteasome which act as activators of the 26S proteasome. Finally, in a yeast two-hybrid genetic screen we have identified a protein in human brain which interacts with the MS73 ATPase (and human S6). The interacting protein contains 6 ankyrin repeats and is co-immunoprecipitated with anti-MS73 antiserum after in vitro transcription/translation. The ankyrin repeat protein may interact with the MS73 ATPase as part of the substrate recognition process by the 26S proteasome. Many proteins degraded by the 26S proteasome contain ankyrin repeats, e.g. IkB and some cyclins: binding through ankyrin repeats to an ATPase regulator may complement protein ubiquitination and S5a binding as recognition signals by the 26S proteasome.
